Chone Figgins, Flashmaster

Apologies in advance for not really being around over the next few days, but there's a lot going on, and some of it sucks. As a token of my appreciation for your sticking with us through lapses in content, here's Chone Figgins doing the most amazing thing Chone Figgins has done all year.

[Be you warned, for here there be .gif(s)]

Here's the live video, and here's a dude realizing it's not as easy as Guti makes it look.

Can someone please explain the picture?

I didn’t get to watch the game.

He was upset that they

cancelled the fireworks show and found this to be the quickest way out of the stadium

That's funny, but can anyone tell me what seriously happened?
Pitch invader evaded security by climbing the fence.
Two things

Here’s Jonathan Sanchez, getting into the rivalry:

And here's Nelson Cruz being terrified by his teammates

It took me far too long to see what was going on here.
I wish more players would do stuff like this.
It was an especially ballsy move considering his last attempt at swagger.
I don't recall.
Before the last Giants/Padres series:
“San Diego has been winning series all year. …But we’re going to play San Diego now and we’re going to beat them three times. If we get to first place, we’re not going to look back.”

Jonathan Sanchez in the first game of that series:

5.1 IP, 5 hits, 3 earned runs, 2 BB, 4 K. He got the loss. The Padres took 2 of 3 in that series.

Oo, that was dirty, Sanchez
The nickname-happy McCovey Chronicles refers to him as "Dirty" often.
I miss the play Figgins made during the near no-no for Fister
Hope the parts that suck don't suck too much.
That DP may be my favorite play of the year.

I’d just gotten home from watching the Rainiers lose and was certain the M’s would, too. I was feeling hopeless and bitter and then THAT happened. BASEBALL!

Exactly my sentiments. Family movie/game night had just ended. We turned on the game and

that was what we saw. That was the best DP I’ve seen all year. Figglet has his share of errors at 2B, but that was awesome.

That play is just filthy.

I’ve staring at that gif for like 5 minutes.

If you guys didn't post again for another year

I’d still check LL two to three times a day, every day.

I thought you meant something totally different with a word like "flashmaster"
On a related note...

My local Sheriff’s Department issued a warning about Pedobear as a pedophile mascot.

Wilson following through and not giving up on that play is just about as amazing as Figgins.
No kidding

Reacting that quickly to barehand Figgins’ toss took as much skill and athleticism as the toss itself.
